Me trying to translate the confusing complexity that is Zenkimi songs? It's more likely than you think! For those of you who don't know, Zenbu Kimi No Sei De (Everything is Your Fault) is an alt-idol group with a Yamikawaii aesthetic and some incredibly catchy songs.
To be fair, Yamikawa Gun Gunka is still easy mode as far as Zenkimi is concerned. Their later songs are a topic best saved for another time, as it's inevitable that I'll have a shot at translating some of those too sooner or later.
やみかわぐんぐんか - YamikawaGunGunka (Yamikawa Army War Song)
Fleeting expectations are always trampled underfoot
I'm an idiotic loser woman who always put on a play for your sake
If I can't feel your hand in mine, I might be better off dying. On the other hand
I can't be sensible when I think about how my wretched self will be revealed if we actually meet
Hail X-chan
Being torn apart from you... I don't think I could bear it. But you're always laughing
A reply from a girlish individual
I'll delete the text from my smartphone so we can go back to the fun times!
It's okay, even if we're going to fall there'll be the two of us, it's nothing scary
Your words penetrate and spread through my internal organs
I want to sneakily conquer the world, like sweet white syrup
I and you, you and me, we choke each other, it'll feel pleasant when we fall
This world is heaven! For sure
Dazai says
"Humans were born for the sake of love and revolution"
Therefore, I'll become anything for you
I'll risk my life! There are no other important things, it's okay to tell 5% lies, laughing emptily I'm about to cry
I'm about to cry, how pitiful...
And yet, and yet, in spite of this thought
I wonder why why don't I reach out
I'll say three things about how to handle me
One, please don't mark me as "already read"
Two, don't peek at the filth hidden beneath
Three, always keep your promises, I want them sealed with blood
It's right in the palm of your hand, but why is mine empty?
Does such a place as Neverland exist or is it a delusion?
If I can't get a hold of it I think I might be better off dying! On the other hand
Your words penetrate and spread through my internal organs
It is said; "Humans were born for the sake of love and revolution"
Therefore, I'll even become evil for you
I'll risk my life! Apart from you nothing is important, please give me 2% of love
laughing emptily I'm about to cry, I'm about to cry how pitiful
I'm about to cry because I love you!!!
